Abstract: The study investigates the transition of circular economy (CE) implementation from individual enterprises to CE agglomeration in industrial parks and at regional levels, with a focus on its potential for driving innovation towards achieving carbon neutrality. Measurement of CE agglomeration is generated from annual firm registration records from 2010 to 2015. For city-level carbon emissions, China High-Resolution Emission Database (CHRED) from 2015 to 2019 is used. Then, structural equation modeling with a propensity score matching is employed to validate our theoretical model for the CE agglomeration pathway and its impact on city-level carbon emissions.
